Artifacts of History in Germany and Italy

This panel invites papers that engage with the presentation, portrayal and performance of history in the literary, figurative and dramatic arts with special focus on Germany and Italy, and their emergence as nation-states between the 18th and 19th century. How is history represented in literature, theater and the arts? What message is it intended to convey? What relationship, if any, does it establish to myth? Comparative approaches (but not only) are especially welcome. Scholars from other disciplines are encouraged to apply. In view of the panel's interdisciplinary perspective, papers shall be presented in English. Please send 250-word abstracts in English, with a brief introductory paragraph by June 26 to Maria Giulia Carone, carone@wisc.edu
